Here is what I received in my first beauty box 5: 

 Items include:

-Jean Pierre Oil Absorbing Facial Tissues (50 count, retails $4)

-Coolway Shampoo and Conditioner (sample sized 1oz)

-be a bombshell lip gloss in taupeless (full size, retails $14)

-Model Co Black eyeliner (full size, retails $18)

My thoughts:

• I like the idea that every month you know you are getting 5 items. The other beauty boxes I've tried vary from month to month
• I was very pleased there were three full sized products and that those full sized products were the makeup products. 
• The eyeliner is a standard black eyeliner with a built in sharpener. Pretty much anyone can get use out of black eyeliner! The lip gloss was surprisingly pigmented for a lip gloss and is a really pretty coppery nude color.
• The box this comes in is basically the shipping box and not one you are going to probably be keeping like some of the other beauty subscription boxes. I end up just hoarding those boxes and not doing much with them, so this isn't a big deal for me. 
• For the amount of products I received and the two full sized makeup items which alone retail for $32 and the box retails for $12 total, shipping is free. 
• If you're able to pay for a year at $99 dollars, this ends up being about $8.25/month which is probably one of the best values for what you're getting plus you get a special treat each month to look forward to!
